framaroot or towelroot should do the job just fine on just about every phone out unless it's a kernel built after the towelroot exploit was closed in june 2014

Moderator Note: We have found that while it MAY work, for most of the phones that we do, it does not do a correct root. THAT is why we have specfic procedures for most of our phones.A blanket statement like this one posted here is NOT always correct.You do this at your own risk. And if you have issues, good luck getting help.

havent run into a phone yet that has problems with either root method i posted. any root method for ICS is using the same three exploits, the superuser binaries are patched as well. the jellybean towelroot exploit is fine. i didnt mention poot specifically because it's a POS... IMHO

understood and well received, thanks for your advice on who i should consult in reguards to our fallen device, but um don't get it twisted man, I've googled this topic extensively and tapatalk-androiodarea51 being a gathering point of people who may share an 'of like-minded-ness' or an attraction to a certain hobby i though id give it a try allright Mr god

Yes I know honestly i don't even know what I'm doing. I just follow instructions Very Careful.I make sure I download exactly what it needs to get it root. I pray everytime I start to root and make sure it doesn't BRICK. But yea, I got the Note 8.0 done.
